Realistic Transfer Targets (2025/26)


Recommended Posts

Looking at how many players Villa signed from the Championship in their Europa League final squad - Konsa, Cash, Watkins, Rogers, Mcginn from Hibs ffs, even Emi Martinez and Buendia had played more in the lower leagues than the top flight. 

 

Issa Kabore - Wrexham right back on loan from City - 8 assists, 25 years old

 

Harvey Vale - 22, 4 goals, 8 assists in only 31 appearances for QPR, looks like he can play anywhere in midfield. Chelsea academy, we've done well with them - Tino, Hall

 

Femi Azeez - 24, forward 11 goals, 8 assists for Millwall. Looks to have a higher than usual price tag so probably moving this summer.

 

Abdul Fatawu - 22, right wing, 9 goals and 8 assists for League one bound Leicester. €20.00m on Transfermarkt. Everton interested. 

 

Anis Mehmeti - 25, 10 goals, 8 assists for Ipswich/Bristol - Attacking midfield. Guy's been putting in work in the Champ for a number of years, time to give him the step up.

 

Ryoya Morishita - 29, 4 goals and 9 assists for Blackburn - Attacking mid. Age is a worry but fee is very cheap.

Can add Hackney to that list too.

 

Really surprising how little we've looked at the Championship.

lol I thought Boro got promoted and didn’t realize it was Ipswich and Hull so scrap Mehmeti and add Hackney. Gonna be a big fee needed to get him, must be good. 
 

5 goals, 8 assists as a DM? Incredible.

Is he a DM ? Thought Morris played that role for them.

Yeah, he's played both DM and CM I think.

 

I like the former Man City youth product at Southampton too, that also plays both midfield positions, Shea Charles.

 

There's some decent young talent in that league man.

Reijnders anyone?

 

Is he realistic? Feel like he's gonna become a lower tier Gundogan for them at some point. 

 

Başar Önal - 21, 7 goals, 8 assists - Plays for NEC Nijmegen in the Dutch league. Plays left or right wing.  €7.00m Transfermarkt

 

Afonso Moreira - 21, 4 goals, 8 assists in 27 games for Lyon  €10.00m

 

Would love if we went for Bowen. Had 9 goals and 11 assists for West Ham 

 

Was curious about the Swiss league and Matteo Di Giusto, 25, had 12 goals and 12 assists for Luzern(never heard of 'em either). #10 Linked with Freiburg, fuck Freiburg, €3.00m

 

Wouldn't even mind if we went back in for Jackson.

Reeks of Spurs or Chelsea. 

I agree. Just looked at Capology for his salary and granted its not accurate but his weekly wage is around €175k per week including bonuses so already would put him as one of our biggest earners and I assume one reason he wants to leave us to get a bump in his salary which only one of big 6 or El Classico can offer him.

Actually looking at his numbers, still scores around 1 in 3? I know Serie A doesn't have the depth of the Premier League but might just need something reawakened in him..


A revitalised Leao and Darwin Nunez leading the line for Eddie’s mags. Make it so.

Alas… 12 months and £55m too late!

I was wondering how Rashford has a price tag that's half as much as what Wissa cost. I guess different prices for different buyers; Man U don't want to strengthen competitors in the league.
